    "Dangerous environment dogs off leash. Crime and it’s very dirty. If you live in an apartment complex that has a dog park you will be okay. "

    "I don’t see dog wonders walking their dogs. Some stray animals. I would recommend going a bit higher in price and renting near river. Better view and dog friendly. "

    "It’s constantly growing. There’s a little mix of old Austin with new Austin people and vibe. Good places to eat, and few places for concerts. "

    "There are a lot of trails and dog parks. People all have dogs and clean up after them . Lady bird lake is close by and people love to take the dogs swimming from the open spots and go canoeing with their dogs. Also a lot of swimming spots in Austin. I think it’s like having a child in Austin. A dog socializes people and brings them together. People are very friendly "

    "Closer to Town Lake. Rasy access to public transportation. A LOT of homeless people camped out right on sidewalks and public spaces. Police can't even make them move. Needles and paraphernalia litter public spaces. This is a problem all of Austin is dealing and getting worse since July 1st, 2019. Not safe. "

    "Dog owners would not be able to find an apartment complex that doesn't have a flea problem. I treat my dogs regularly yet they still have had a massive issue with catching fleas. I can't even walk around my apartment complex without getting flea bites all over my legs. "

    "Lots of dogs around here especially by the river. There a few a handful of nearby parks. There are even some unfenced areas where the community has welcomed off leash dogs. When I lived here it was more friendly than not, which is awesome, but definitely can change. "

    "This area is in the gentrification process so you see some riff raff from drugs and crime and also some vary nice homes next to boarded up houses. people keep to themselves, probably not the best place to raise a family right now. "

    "Close to downtown but more affordable. One of the more ethnically and financially diverse areas this close to downtown. Lots and lots of homeless and break-ins and physically threatening crimes. I don't recommend living here for single females like myself. "
